Jimmy Lennon is a British man who, after bursting into the pub where Desmond was sitting, demanded the money the bartender owed him from a cricket match bet. The first time Desmond experienced this event (as he remembers it), Lennon hit the bartender with a cricket bat; however, the second time it happened, in his flash after the discharge, Desmond warned the bartender to duck. This warning caused Jimmy to miss, hitting Desmond in the back of the head instead, shifting Desmond's consciousness to the future, as he wakes up naked on the Island. ("Flashes Before Your Eyes")
